Gateway Refurbish.

I have an old gateway fx7026.

I upgraded the ram, added ssd, gpu, blah blah. My bios is locked and there is no point in messing around w/ it anymore. I believe the board is MicroATX.

My question is this. I want to put in a new board, cpu, ram. It's strictly for playing CSGO and maybe PUBG. What combo will work? Will I need to upgrade my psu as well and what if any connectors will need to be swapped? Budget is between $200-$300.

I would like to go DDR4 but not adamant about it. I have a GTX 650 ti that's fine. (csgo is pretty much dependent on cpu)

What do I need to know, sensei?

I included a PSU as well as your link doesn't tell anything about which PSU is used and therefore it's very likely to be a very crap quality. Also in this price range only a Ryzen 1300 is affordable and that will be blown away by the Intel CPU in those CPU intensive games.
